Ground Chuck Jerky

You might try my Ground Round Jerky – it is mild and easy. I make it when ground round goes on sale and it disappears very fast…

GROUND ROUND JERKY (about 30 pieces depending on how thick you roll…)
1 lb ground round
1 TB Morton’s Tender Quick )(salt section of store)
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp pepper (opt)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (opt)
1/2 tsp chili powder (opt)
You can spice up or down as desired. I usually omit chili powder and pepper if making for folks with ulcers.
Mix dry ingredients and knead into the meat very well. Rfrigerate 1 hour. You can put thru jerky gun, ior roll out 1/8 inch thick between 2 sheets wax paper, or use a jerky press. Dry on paper towels at 145-155 degrees for 1 hour. Pat off any oil with paper towels, turn over and dry another hour. Remove oil again. Repeat until dried to your taste – 2-3 hrs for softer jerky, longer for dryer. Pat off all the oil you can. Store in cool dry place up to 2 weeks; freeze for longer term. Morton salt company used to give out a free recipe book for their cure products – this was in it and is quite good. I like it much better than store bought, and most who try it cant tell from the taste it is not store bought.
